hypnotiser
Puts you under
A hypnotiser is someone who induces hypnosis—a trance-like state of focused attention and heightened suggestibility.
The term covers both clinical practitioners who use hypnosis therapeutically and stage performers who hypnotise audience volunteers for entertainment.
Also spelled hypnotizer.
The hypnotiser guided her into a deep relaxation.
